Short bio
Holder of a DEA in Imaging in Universe Sciences from the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolice (UNSA), I worked for a few years as a research engineer for a large European Aerospace industrialist. I then continue on a PhD in Signal & Images at Télécom ParisTech, which I defended in 2001 on the theme of spatial remote sensing.
My research area is close-range remote sensing and field robotics. I work in all environments (air, land and sea) with a particular focus on the underwater environment.
As a professional diver, I take care of field operations involving robots and their sensors and I co-organize underwater experimentation workshop as part of the French GDR Robotique. I am currently a assistant professor at EPITA where I co-created with Loïca Avanthey the SEAL team (Sense, Explore, Analyze and Learn) on exploration robotics, which was merged in 2022 with the Image Processing and Pattern Recognition group. I am also co-responsible for the robotics axis of EPITA.

Research interest
My research activities focus on the acquisition and processing of multi-environment close-range remote sensing data using light robotic means.
My second area of research, which I decline from my work on my main theme, concerns pedagogical innovations and education by research.
Key words : close-range remote sensing, multimedia field robotics (underwater vehicles, surface vehicles, ground vehicles and aerial vehicles), algorithmic under constraint, underwater photogrammetry, computer vision, undergraduate research.
